A luggage bag is a suitcase, backpack or other bag that holds a traveler’s personal belongings during transit. It’s designed to protect the contents during transport with a hard shell or durable, soft material and typically includes internal subdivisions or sections to help secure items. It may also feature handles, wheels and/or telescoping leashes or straps to facilitate carrying. Often, it’s decorated to reflect the owner’s style.
When choosing a luggage bag, consider the material, size and level of durability as well as whether it has any organizational features to make packing and retrieving your belongings easier. For example, some bags have dual main compartments with multiple zippered pockets and a shoe separator. Some also have a garment sleeve, power bank pouch (like some July and Arlo Skye luggage) and USB port. If a warranty is offered, check the length and terms of coverage as it can vary between brands.
What is the Difference Between Luggage & Baggage?
The term luggage refers to a bag or suitcase that is used for traveling. The more specific term, baggage, refers to all of the suitcases and bags a person owns for travel. This can include a carry-on bag that must fit in the over-head bin on an airplane or a suitcase that goes in the trunk of a car. It can also include a small backpack or duffle bag that travelers use for road trips and cruises.
The best luggage bags have a sturdy frame. The strongest frames are made from polycarbonate, a tough and lightweight material that handles stress and pressure easily. The next most durable frame material is ABS, or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, which is stronger than polycarbonate but a bit more fragile. Some of the most affordable but durable luggage is made from aluminum, which is lightweight and can handle impact damage better than plastics.
